the physical media will be sold off with no regrets.

the physical media is only thing of value to me. Everything else (gear) is easily replaced.
imo - Aging audiophiles, not being replaced by millennials, means there will be a plethora of eccentric audiophile gear .....for those looking for such in coming years.

It's my understanding ALL vinyl is manufactured from a digital imprint. Essentially a CD.
Years ago I got curious about the process and contacted a couple local mastering studios near me that also pressed vinyl. They confirmed that if an artist was doing the vinyl option, and had submitted Hi Res files that were better than CD quality 16/44, i.e. 24/96 and better..... then these Hi Res files were the ones used for the LP.
